The 2016 U.S. Marathon Trials represent victory and the reality of what dreams can be achieved by constantly challenging yourself and pushing your training beyond what people say you are capable of. It is an example of what courage and hard work can demonstrate and to set an example for my son to aim high for his goals in life and strive hard to earn the success. I deeply admire, and respect elite level distance running and I have been absolutely hooked since freshman year cross-country when I first felt those steps of freedom running provided. The race, the training, the pain it's all a beautiful sport when you pour your heart into it. The Marathon Trials to me, is everything- success, the motivation to show others who struggle as single parents that you can still achieve victories, to inspire my son to never give up on his dreams, and to me- it's just my love and passion I want to share with the world.
In terms of what I plan to do to make the qualification standard - I'm not afraid of the hard work ahead. I run with Cael (my son) over my lunch break, I use the spin bike after Cael goes to bed and before Cael wakes up I plan to move my treadmill over to my garage and start adding in morning miles. I resistance train and cross train at the gym on afternoons when Cael visits his dad.This is all i want to do besides be the best mom I humanly can. To show him not to give up on his dreams and that the most important goals in life take the hardest work to achieve and they are absolutely worth the struggle. I constantly fight for his rights in court because he is my most precious goal over anything.
